00:00:00Surrogacy? What's surrogacy?
00:00:02Harvard Business School.
00:00:04MBA. Top of class.
00:00:06As for...
00:00:08intimate matters,
00:00:11I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:15Three years I've loved him.
00:00:17Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:22I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god!
00:00:34Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:37I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:42One appointment?
00:00:43One sperm donor?
00:00:44I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly.
00:00:51We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:58Surrogacy.
00:00:59Five generations of Crawford dignity
00:01:02Destroyed by tabloid gossip!
00:01:06Adrian,
00:01:07I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple, right?
00:01:11Until...
00:01:13All you have to do is remember
00:01:16who you really belong with.
00:01:19That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault!
00:01:22You really plan to get rid of them.
00:01:26Get rid of them.
00:01:27Get out!
00:01:30I don't know.
00:01:33I don't know.
00:01:38Three years.
00:01:39Three years I've loved him.
00:01:42Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:44That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:46But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:51I know he loves me.
00:01:54Thank you so much.
00:01:55I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:58Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:02:01And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:03We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:06A family of our own.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:21You got any...
00:02:22I am so sorry.
00:02:23Come on.
00:02:23Oh, my God.
00:02:53Oh, my God.
00:03:23Oh, my God.
00:03:39Voila, you're early.
00:03:42Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:44You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:47Come and join us.
00:03:56Three years.
00:03:57Three years.
00:03:58I wasted on you.
00:04:00God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:03To think I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:07Oh, baby.
00:04:10Sweetheart.
00:04:11You wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:04:16Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs...
00:04:20These lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:26Screw you.
00:04:28I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:45You know what?
00:04:46I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:49One appointment?
00:04:50One sperm donor?
00:04:51Well, I can have a baby of my own.
00:05:02Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:06Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:12The surrogate candidates are all, for other words,
00:05:14Ivy League educated, impeccable health histories.
00:05:18I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:20I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:23Find me someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:26I need someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:56Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:13The interview?
00:06:15Yes, of course.
00:06:21Okay.
00:06:22Please, sit.
00:06:33Right, let's get started.
00:06:37Hey, education background.
00:06:42Excuse me?
00:06:42And I'm going to need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders to work out.
00:06:51I mean, you look acceptable.
00:07:01Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:04I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:06It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:07:11I are attractive men, so full of themselves.
00:07:16I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:07:18I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:21So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:25Mr. Crawford, I can't show her out.
00:07:28Thompson, leave us.
00:07:30What are you doing?
00:07:35Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:46Harvard Business School.
00:07:48MBA.
00:07:48Top of class.
00:07:50No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:52I work you out five times a week.
00:07:54As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:06Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:08Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:10Yes.
00:08:11Horace.
00:08:15I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:08:17No genetic disorders.
00:08:19And I get regular checkups.
00:08:22I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:24You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:30Good.
00:08:32Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:37Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:42$800.
00:08:44I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:48I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could, I could help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:58Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:09:00Oh, all of this?
00:09:10Seriously?
00:09:12Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:18No contact.
00:09:18You want to keep my baby?
00:09:23Are you insane?
00:09:24That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:33Surrogacy?
00:09:34Surrogacy.
00:09:34The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:37Interview?
00:09:38I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:40You came to what?
00:09:42I thought you were a donor.
00:09:44That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:48I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:51Right, um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:58Wait!
00:10:01A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:10:07I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:13Ah, you might need that.
00:10:21Clean this up.
00:10:25Bring in the next.
00:10:32Hello?
00:10:33Miss Reed, your father, you need to come now.
00:10:38Okay, I'm coming here.
00:10:51Doctor, how is he? How is my father?
00:11:02The cancer has spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:06Then, then do something.
00:11:08Save him.
00:11:09Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:11Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:14Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:15But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:18How much?
00:11:18Around one million dollars.
00:11:21A million dollars?
00:11:22Yes.
00:11:24Can I get a, a, a loan or something?
00:11:27Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:29And there is no loan policy.
00:11:31Sorry.
00:11:31Sorry.
00:11:31No.
00:11:42No.
00:11:42No.
00:11:43No.
00:11:43No.
00:11:43No.
00:11:44No.
00:11:45No.
00:11:45This is the last batch.
00:12:13Yes, sir, the blonde want to know about ring sizes, and brunette asked about moving in, and the redhead...
00:12:23All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:26It's qualified.
00:12:30She was refreshing.
00:12:33No pretense.
00:12:34No schemes.
00:12:36But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:39Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:43Hello.
00:12:56I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:58I've been thinking.
00:13:09I've been thinking.
00:13:12About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:16You're reconsidering.
00:13:17Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:19I have my reasons.
00:13:20As do I.
00:13:24I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:30What kind of modification?
00:13:32Joint custody.
00:13:33You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:35You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:36Why would you agree to that?
00:13:38You're honest.
00:13:39Direct.
00:13:41No hidden agenda.
00:13:44Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:45So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:48Yes.
00:13:48But understand this clearly.
00:13:51We'll be parents.
00:13:52Nothing more.
00:13:53No romantic entanglements.
00:13:56No emotional expectations.
00:14:00Don't flutter yourself.
00:14:02God.
00:14:03Rich man and their egos.
00:14:08Father.
00:14:09The board is getting impatient.
00:14:12Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:16I've already made my own plans.
00:14:18Adrian.
00:14:18If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:25The Crawford name means something.
00:14:27I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:29I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:32What?
00:14:33We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:34Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:44Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:14:51The situation requires adaptation.
00:14:56Hmm.
00:14:57Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:15:00If we need a convincing story, you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:04And after the baby comes?
00:15:06We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:15The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:34Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:42Wow.
00:15:43I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:57Well, well, well.
00:15:59Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:16:01You can't get over me, huh?
00:16:09Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:12Following you? Why would I...
00:16:13What are you doing here?
00:16:15Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:16:18I'm sure you know that.
00:16:21You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:24But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:16:27Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:16:29Get your hands off me, you creep.
00:16:32Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:36Come on, baby. We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:41Uncle, what are you doing?
00:16:42Get your filthy hands off my fiancée.
00:16:47Your... your... what?
00:16:49Fiancée?
00:16:52Fiancée? How could she be your fiancée? She's just...
00:16:55Watch your mouth.
00:16:57Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:16:59This is crazy.
00:17:04You seriously don't know.
00:17:05I won't repeat myself.
00:17:07Stay away from my fiancée.
00:17:09One more word?
00:17:10You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:12Goodbye.
00:17:13Goodbye.
00:17:13You alright?
00:17:30Yeah, so...
00:17:33Ethan.
00:17:34Ethan.
00:17:35He's your nephew.
00:17:36Then he's your...
00:17:38Well, he was...
00:17:41He's kinda...
00:17:43He was my boyfriend.
00:17:45I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:45I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:48I see.
00:17:50Thompson will bring your things in shortly.
00:17:54Sorry.
00:17:54Sorry.
00:17:56Um, so, where am I staying?
00:18:04Here.
00:18:05What?
00:18:08Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:18:13Oh, of course.
00:18:14Fake engagement.
00:18:15Real roommates.
00:18:19Don't worry.
00:18:21I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:22What are you doing?
00:18:50This is the line.
00:18:52Don't cross it.
00:18:53Ever.
00:18:55For sure.
00:18:57Good.
00:19:14My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:19Wait.
00:19:21How did I...
00:19:22Sir, are you okay?
00:19:33Fine.
00:19:35Continue.
00:19:44Stay on your side.
00:19:46Lila, wake up.
00:19:57Lila, please.
00:19:59Lila, please.
00:19:59What?
00:19:59Control.
00:20:13Control.
00:20:13This is the next thing.
00:20:17Control.
00:20:17This is the next thing.
00:20:21Control.
00:20:22Sorry.
00:20:36Sorry.
00:20:38Didn't see you there.
00:20:43You're always in the way.
00:20:45Oh, my brother's mysterious fiancee.
00:20:50Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:52Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:53Catherine, please.
00:20:55We're family now.
00:20:56Supposedly.
00:20:57Helen, tea, please.
00:20:58Helen, tea, please.
00:20:59Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:21:01So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:08Through mutual friends.
00:21:09Through mutual friends.
00:21:10Through mutual friends.
00:21:11Oh, really?
00:21:14Mutual friends.
00:21:16Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:24Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:28I'm sorry?
00:21:29Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:35The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:49Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancee, your presence is required.
00:21:55I'd be honored.
00:21:58Hmm.
00:21:59Perfect.
00:22:00I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:07You can go now.
00:22:19Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:21I need to clean.
00:22:22Of course.
00:22:23Let me just...
00:22:24Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:31How creative.
00:22:34Must be hiding your family.
00:22:36Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:39Let me help you with this.
00:22:41Your dress!
00:22:43How clumsy of me.
00:22:45You did that on purpose.
00:22:47Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:49Mr. Crawford?
00:22:50You're just some trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:57Mr. Crawford!
00:22:58She just attacked me!
00:23:02I was trying to help with the...
00:23:04Get out!
00:23:05But I was just...
00:23:06One more word and you're fired.
00:23:09Get out!
00:23:18What happened?
00:23:19Nothing.
00:23:20I need some space.
00:23:21I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:23Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:24I need some space.
00:23:28You take the bed.
00:23:29I'll take the sofa.
00:23:32I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:35Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:36As long as we can get you better.
00:23:38I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:40I promise.
00:23:42Lila, what happened?
00:23:44What should I do?
00:23:58How's the happy couple?
00:24:06Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:11Just a small thing.
00:24:15Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:17It's okay.
00:24:19I'm here.
00:24:21You're safe.
00:24:23Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:37Oh, that's too big.
00:24:38Checks.
00:24:39I'll shine.
00:24:41You're taking a place after your nap.
00:24:44You're the россий兵術 leader.
00:24:46I'll be frightened of you.
00:24:47I will choke you.
00:25:01See you, lovely girl.
00:25:03Mommy if you holy seedанием is all right.
00:25:05Focus.
00:25:10This is just a simple medical procedure.
00:25:15Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:22Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:25Um, yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:26I just need some assistance.
00:25:29Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:31No, I didn't mean...
00:25:34Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine.
00:25:35I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:38Come in.
00:25:48So, you want to help?
00:25:51Of course.
00:25:52What do you need me to...
00:25:57Oh, you're...
00:25:58Oh, you're...
00:26:00I'm so sorry.
00:26:02I didn't realize.
00:26:03Guys, I'm just...
00:26:04I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:26:07I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:09Ah!
00:26:10It's fine.
00:26:13Well, that was helpful.
00:26:14Are you okay?
00:26:21Yeah.
00:26:22Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:26It's causing you pain.
00:26:27Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:29But I mean, it will pass.
00:26:32Oh.
00:26:33Here.
00:26:36Oh, okay.
00:26:37Thanks.
00:26:49Thanks.
00:26:54Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:27:00And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:02Yeah.
00:27:05Okay.
00:27:05Okay.
00:27:05Purely professional care.
00:27:35Purely professional, huh?
00:27:53Adrienne.
00:27:56Um, about this weekend.
00:27:58I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:28:00The merge is falling apart.
00:28:02Top-
00:28:02Atlanta.
00:28:03The merge is falling apart.
00:28:05Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:08Your family invited me to dinner.
00:28:11Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:17Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:23I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:28:29I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:33What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:36Retail?
00:28:37Worse.
00:28:38A wannabe writer.
00:28:39She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:43Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:49I had the chef prepare her place, setting, and everything.
00:28:52She probably couldn't figure out which work to do this, girl.
00:28:55I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:13My, my.
00:29:14Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:16James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:22I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:26And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:30Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:36Oh, darling.
00:29:38A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:41How quaint.
00:29:44At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian socks.
00:29:48I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:56Integrity.
00:29:57Integrity.
00:29:58Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:30:01How much, how much will it take you to disappear in your price?
00:30:12The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:20Excuse me.
00:30:29Stay calm.
00:30:30You can do this.
00:30:37Mm-hmm.
00:30:39Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:49What's the rush?
00:30:51We're all family here.
00:30:53Well, almost family.
00:30:55Don't touch me.
00:30:57You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:59Remember how shy you were?
00:31:02Always saying no.
00:31:04Hands off me.
00:31:05Back here.
00:31:06Careful now.
00:31:07One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:13Now.
00:31:14Where were we?
00:31:24Everything all right, dear?
00:31:26You look flushed.
00:31:28So, as I was saying about the answers.
00:31:31Stop it.
00:31:32Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:38I just...
00:31:39Stop it!
00:31:42Enough.
00:31:43No class?
00:31:44No manners?
00:31:46I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:53I...
00:31:53I...
00:31:54I...
00:31:54I'm the one who pursued her.
00:32:02Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:07Adrian.
00:32:07If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:11You want to know how we met?
00:32:12She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:15Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:17Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:22She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:26Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:28First woman who dared stand out to me.
00:32:31And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:32I never had to have her.
00:32:34Sir, two things.
00:32:39Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:32:42And your jet is ready.
00:32:43We can go now.
00:32:48Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:50What's the merger?
00:32:53Yes, sir.
00:32:55Funny that last week's family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:33:00Something's more important than business.
00:33:10Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:13Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:33:20What are you talking about?
00:33:22We've been dating for three years.
00:33:25I have pictures of us together.
00:33:27She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:35Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:40You manipulative little trick.
00:33:42Face it, Uncle.
00:33:43You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:48Face it, Uncle.
00:33:50You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:53That's for every lie you just told.
00:34:02Adrian!
00:34:03How dare you hit my son!
00:34:05Where do you think you're going?
00:34:06We are not finished here yet!
00:34:08Yes, we are.
00:34:14I'm sorry.
00:34:15I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:16Thank you for coming back and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:26Your hands, what happened?
00:34:27As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:47I expect you to use them.
00:34:49I didn't want to presume.
00:34:51You're a Crawford now.
00:34:52Dr. Anderson?
00:35:04Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:10I see.
00:35:12What is it?
00:35:15Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:17I've been thinking.
00:35:19Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:35:26Between the husband and wife.
00:35:30What are your thoughts?
00:35:34I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:38We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:40So, I mean, goodnight.
00:35:50You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:54Focus on the procedure.
00:35:58Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:07There.
00:36:08See that white spot?
00:36:09That's her baby.
00:36:18You know, I can walk.
00:36:21Doctor's orders?
00:36:22You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:28Merely following medical procedure.
00:36:30Look at her.
00:36:40Look at her.
00:36:42She's acting like a princess.
00:36:45She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:49Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:53Her baby.
00:36:54Oh, yeah.
00:36:55Oh.

00:43:48I'm so pleased Adrienne has found someone after all these years.
00:43:52That's really kind, but I'm sorry, who are you?
00:43:58I'm just someone who cares about Adrienne's happiness.
00:44:01More than anyone else.
00:44:08Oh my god!
00:44:11You two are finally back together.
00:44:13Hello. Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:44:19I heard Adrienne Crawford was engaged.
00:44:21I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:23When is the wedding?
00:44:27Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée, Lala Reid.
00:44:39We're expecting our first child, and of course, you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:44She's pregnant?
00:44:46Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:48I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:55Adrienne Crawford in a complete unknown?
00:44:58How did you manage that?
00:44:59Adrienne chose her over Vivian.
00:45:01Is he crazy?
00:45:03Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:05Great.
00:45:06Let's go, Ben.
00:45:14They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:17Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:19Shh.
00:45:25Gentlemen!
00:45:26What are you all talking about?
00:45:27They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:48Drinking?
00:45:49I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:50None of your business.
00:45:56You know how Adrienne is.
00:45:58Always has to win.
00:46:00Especially against me.
00:46:01He hates when I take things from him.
00:46:03What are you talking about?
00:46:12Perfect couple, right?
00:46:13Until...
00:46:16Dun-dun-dun...
00:46:19Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:22Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:25Since then,
00:46:27whatever I want,
00:46:29he has to take.
00:46:31Whatever I have,
00:46:32he has to win.
00:46:34Like you.
00:46:35What you want,
00:46:38you never have.
00:46:40Never.
00:46:42You and Ethan,
00:46:43you've never really
00:46:44gone along, have you?
00:46:47You don't get it.
00:46:49Stop being naive.
00:46:50You're just his tool for revenge.
00:47:01I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:47:05What do you think you're doing?
00:47:19You are pregnant.
00:47:20Why are you drinking?
00:47:21Oh, now you care.
00:47:26It's soda.
00:47:27I know what I'm doing.
00:47:35What happened back there?
00:47:44Talk to me.
00:47:47Lila,
00:47:47I am worried.
00:47:49So you talk to Ethan,
00:47:51but not me.
00:47:53Oh, you do care so much
00:47:55about your nephew,
00:47:56don't you?
00:47:57Why don't you open the door?
00:48:16Please.
00:48:16Please.
00:48:17We walked that season
00:48:36by ghosts.
00:48:40I'd walk it...
00:48:42The act is still warm.
00:48:51I apologize about last night.
00:48:52I was...
00:48:53I was just worried about you.
00:48:56Worried about me
00:48:57or worried about the baby?
00:49:02What do you mean?
00:49:03Is this why you're being
00:49:05so nice to me?
00:49:07Making me breakfast,
00:49:09being all protective?
00:49:11It's just for the baby?
00:49:14Lila,
00:49:15you're being so strange
00:49:17since yesterday.
00:49:18Why?
00:49:20Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:27Yes.
00:49:27And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:40Okay, so...
00:49:41So I'm just...
00:49:42Vivian and I...
00:49:43Sir,
00:49:50the Singapore merger
00:49:50is falling apart.
00:49:51We need to immediately.
00:49:53I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:55The board is threatening
00:49:55to pull out.
00:49:57I'll be there.
00:50:05We need to finish this conversation
00:50:06as soon as I get back.
00:50:07Of course.
00:50:08Business first.
00:50:14Lila.
00:50:15Just go.
00:50:27Sir,
00:50:28there have been complications.
00:50:31Explain.
00:50:32During your absence,
00:50:33Mr. Ethan has been meeting
00:50:34with board members,
00:50:36suggesting your sudden
00:50:37marriage plans
00:50:38indicate
00:50:39unstable
00:50:39decision-making.
00:50:41Several executors
00:50:42are questioning
00:50:43if someone so
00:50:45personally distracted
00:50:46should
00:50:47inherit the company.
00:50:48Mr. Crawford,
00:51:07we've been discussing
00:51:08my personal life.
00:51:09Your sudden access
00:51:10has let me be
00:51:11very
00:51:12clear.
00:51:19This company
00:51:19took a 40%
00:51:20profit loss
00:51:21before I took over.
00:51:23Within three years,
00:51:24I tripled
00:51:25our market share.
00:51:26Every major merger,
00:51:28every successful acquisition,
00:51:29every stock surge,
00:51:31my execution,
00:51:32my strategies.
00:51:33So, yes,
00:51:35I am getting married.
00:51:38And, yes,
00:51:38I took some time off.
00:51:40And, no,
00:51:41not a single person
00:51:43in this room
00:51:43has the right
00:51:44to question
00:51:44my commitment
00:51:46or my capability.
00:51:48Because without me,
00:51:50there wouldn't be
00:51:51a company left to inherit.
00:51:53There wouldn't be
00:51:54a company left to inherit.
00:51:57Now.
00:51:59Now.
00:51:59Shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:04Shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:05Shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:30the merger?
00:52:57What?
00:52:58Shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:58Adrien! What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:53:08I was doing my job.
00:53:09Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:53:13Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:53:20You leave Lila out of this.
00:53:22You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:53:25Yeah, run along. Adults are talking business now.
00:53:29We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters. You wouldn't understand.
00:53:41That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:46She's nothing but a broodmare. After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:59Adrien needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:54:03Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:54:09Non-negotiable.
00:54:11She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:54:14And your little pet project can't stay home and gestate. That's all she's good for.
00:54:19Get out! Both of you!
00:54:24How dare you!
00:54:25If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:32Adrien, be reasonable.
00:54:34She is worth a thousand of you.
00:54:37Tomorrow, 9 a.m. Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:54:42Is that all?
00:54:46Yes, for now.
00:54:47But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:49No.
00:55:12Stop it.
00:55:26Stop checking.
00:55:28This is ridiculous.
00:55:31I was independent before.
00:55:34I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:40No!
00:55:42I'm not going to be that girl.
00:55:47I can make my own meals.
00:55:50I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:58A broodmare.
00:56:02Way to get back at Ethan.
00:56:08Milo!
00:56:09I'm fine!
00:56:11You're not fine.
00:56:12Hospital!
00:56:13Now!
00:56:13I'm fine!
00:56:28Thanks.
00:56:29I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:36You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:56:41All sweet.
00:56:42Sincere.
00:56:43Don't.
00:56:44Why not?
00:56:46Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:48Ethan.
00:56:50Lila, he's just using you.
00:56:53You're his revenge against me.
00:56:56A tool.
00:56:57And you deserve better than that.
00:57:00Adrian, stop!
00:57:02What are you doing?
00:57:05I'm protecting you.
00:57:06From what?
00:57:06He's helping.
00:57:07He brought me here.
00:57:08My hand was bleeding.
00:57:09So now you're defending him.
00:57:10No, I'm defending the truth.
00:57:13Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:57:17I see.
00:57:19Adrian.
00:57:21I'll call the doctor to come.
00:57:23I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:57:32Sir, it's just the morning call.
00:57:34I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:36I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:57:37He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:40Always so controlled.
00:57:42Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:44Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:49Remember our beach dates?
00:57:53How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:59Thompson, bring in the catering.
00:58:02The Michelin star one.
00:58:03Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:58:07Oh, well done.
00:58:08No sauce.
00:58:09I don't think that I did say...
00:58:11How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:58:15Pride and Prejudice.
00:58:16BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:58:18She likes to watch it when she's still stressed.
00:58:20Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:58:24To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:58:27You did what?
00:58:28Wow!
00:58:32Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:34Huh, Uncle?
00:58:37Well, see.
00:58:38Oh, the Alzheimer's Wing is fully renovated.
00:58:42Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:44As she mentioned.
00:58:46Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:48Anonymous donor.
00:58:49Hmm.
00:58:54He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:56but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:58Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:59:14Just my mom.
00:59:17I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:59:19They should arrive shortly.
00:59:21They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:59:24Wow.
00:59:25He remembered all that about me.
00:59:26I remember everything about you.
00:59:33Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:38Guys, she's tired.
00:59:39We should leave.
00:59:40Let her rest.
00:59:50Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:53Or does he actually care?
00:59:55Yes, father?
01:00:13Vivian's being hospitalized.
01:00:16Overwork, they say,
01:00:17from cleaning up your company's mess.
01:00:20I have meetings.
01:00:21Cancel them!
01:00:23Go to visit her right now.
01:00:26Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:29or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:33You came.
01:00:53Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:57Still so cold.
01:00:59Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:01:03That was a long time ago.
01:01:06We were really great together, Adrian.
01:01:09We could be together again.
01:01:10I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:01:14What we had,
01:01:15I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:01:18But Lila,
01:01:20she's different.
01:01:22She's real.
01:01:24Pregnant gold digger is real?
01:01:26Please.
01:01:27I guess some things never change.
01:01:39Watch your words.
01:01:42Stay away from my wife.
01:01:53My little girl.
01:01:55Daddy.
01:01:55Your hand.
01:01:59It's nothing.
01:02:02I need to tell you something.
01:02:05I'm going to be a mother.
01:02:07Is it that Ethan boys?
01:02:09No.
01:02:10No.
01:02:10Then who?
01:02:12It doesn't matter.
01:02:13But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:02:17And I'm going to love them so much.
01:02:20With all the love that you gave me.
01:02:24Baby.
01:02:24Baby.
01:02:25I'm so sorry.
01:02:27I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:02:32Daddy.
01:02:32If only I were healthy.
01:02:33If I could work.
01:02:35Daddy, don't.
01:02:38The hospital bills.
01:02:39What are you getting money for?
01:02:42Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:44No, no, no.
01:02:45It's not like that.
01:02:47Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:49My little girl pregnant all alone.
01:02:52She's not alone.
01:02:53Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:58I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:03:03I'm the father of her child.
01:03:04Adrian.
01:03:06I'm not just the father.
01:03:08I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:03:14Pretty words from a rich man.
01:03:16Not words.
01:03:17Facts.
01:03:18I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:03:21Full treatment plan.
01:03:22Best specialists.
01:03:25Adrian.
01:03:25And I promise you this.
01:03:29Every morning she's going to wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:33Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:03:38You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:40Yes, sir, I do.
01:03:42Well.
01:03:45Maybe I can stop worrying.
01:03:55Thank you for what you said in there.
01:03:59I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:04:02No, no, no, no.
01:04:03I wasn't just doing anything.
01:04:05Every word I said in there is true.
01:04:08Adrian.
01:04:14Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:04:17I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:04:23Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:04:25I realized...
01:04:27You've become everything to me.
01:04:30You're not my surrogate.
01:04:33You're not my convenient fiancé.
01:04:37You're my partner.
01:04:39If you have me.
01:04:44But what about Ethan and William?
01:04:47What about them?
01:04:51Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan and...
01:04:54Revenge?
01:04:54I never loved Vivian.
01:04:57And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:59Really?
01:05:01And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:05:04I was jealous, okay?
01:05:14I thought of you with him.
01:05:18Wow.
01:05:19The great Mr. Crawford.
01:05:21Jealous.
01:05:21Don't mention it.
01:05:23I have a reputation to make it.
01:05:24I'm not letting you go.
01:05:40Not ever.
01:05:50Surrogacy?
01:05:51Contract of marriage?
01:05:54Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:55I think so.
01:06:11Okay.
01:06:12Whiskey. Neat.
01:06:34What's so urgent?
01:06:36I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:06:40Is this about her and my uncle?
01:06:41It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:06:45Your perfect uncle?
01:06:47He hired her.
01:06:49She's just a surrogate.
01:06:51Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:06:54A contract.
01:06:58The board would love to hear about this.
01:07:01Next week's family meeting.
01:07:04They'll reveal everything.
01:07:06Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:07:08And once he's ruined...
01:07:13I'll comfort him.
01:07:14Help him rebuild.
01:07:16He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:07:22And Lila?
01:07:24Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:07:28You can have your little toy back.
01:07:30Cheers.
01:07:33Cheers.

01:24:18Thanks.
01:24:26You've been at this for hours.
01:24:29I just gotta finish this last chapter.
01:24:35I'll get you some food.
01:24:36What do you mean you're cancelling the contract?
01:24:49We've worked together for 10 years!
01:24:54No, no, no, no.
01:24:55Don't call Adrian.
01:24:57Hello?
01:24:58Hello?
01:25:00Hello?
01:25:00The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:25:02They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:25:04This is all your fault!
01:25:05You and your billion plan to get rid of them.
01:25:08My fault!
01:25:09You're the one who can't handle basic accounting!
01:25:11Enough!
01:25:13The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:25:15Please tell me you have good news.
01:25:17Oh my god, this story sounds exactly like the powerful scandal.
01:25:31Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:25:36The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love.
01:25:40I'm crying.
01:25:44Is everything okay?
01:25:44I think I just went viral.
01:25:49I figured out stories about us.
01:25:51Look!
01:25:52Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:26:12Have you seen the comments?
01:26:13They're calling us heartless villains!
01:26:17Can't believe they're trying to suffer from true love businesses.
01:26:21Property industries lost my business.
01:26:23Team Adrian, all the way.
01:26:27Yes, Penguin Publishing.
01:26:28Um, sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line,

01:26:56Son, the board wants you back.
01:26:59Take your position.
01:27:01Your inheritance.
01:27:01I'll have to ask my wife.
01:27:05What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:27:12First order of business.
01:27:14Starting without me.
01:27:16Perfect timing.
01:27:17I'm announcing your termination.
